kdm login greeter stopped working

[Mail Lists]

  FC4t2 - fullly yum updated.

  Was working fine till yesterday - today 
  the kdm greeter stopped workign - instead now get gnome greeter (gdm).
 
  Things that may be contributory:

    a) Did a full update last night - which had missing lib errors
       hand updated all the parts I could including x11-xorg,
       and kernel to 1240.  

    b) Did a yum update this morning and it completed with no trouble

    c) Right after, with some hope I tried once again 
       the cox 3-D test (bzflag 2.0) - which
       promptly crashed the machine ;-( (radeon 9200).

       Used Alt-sysctl-b to reboot hung state.
 
  Tried running kcontrol and setting defaults for login - 
  did not help - it did refresh /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.

  # cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop 
  DESKTOP="KDE"
  DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"

  Some relevant bits from /var/log/messages:
